Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders' report: Short-changed, published on 11 May 2021, how the Government plans to ensure that money allocated to clinical commissioning groups for eating disorders services is spent on such services.

The funding and provision of health services, including mental health services, are the responsibility of local clinical commissioning groups which have the flexibility to reallocate funding according to local need.

NHS England and NHS Improvement continue to work with mental health leads from local systems, Health Education England, and other partners across the health system to support local services and help ensure the funding flows to these services as intended.
